WEBVTT FILE 1 00:00:01.900 --> 00:00:05.040 [Music] 2 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:07.040 as i told you in the previous video in 3 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.440 writing task 2 you might face different 4 00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:10.880 question types 5 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.519 the most important thing is to identify 6 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.679 what question type you're dealing with 7 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:17.199 so that you can use the correct 8 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.320 structure or expressions for that 9 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.480 in task two we have five different 10 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.439 question types let's see 11 00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:27.760 you can face an opinion question or 12 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.720 angry or disagree question 13 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:34.079 it can be a discussion question 14 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.559 it can also be an advantages or 15 00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:39.520 disadvantages question 16 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.079 a problems and solutions question or 17 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.800 causes and solutions question 18 00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:47.920 and finally double questions 19 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.760 from the next video we will get into 20 00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:52.399 details of each of these question types 21 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.960 with explanations and examples and we 22 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.800 will also write writings for each of 23 00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:59.280 them so don't worry about it at all now 24 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.359 that you have all this information let's 25 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.080 see what a steps we need to take before 26 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:06.240 we start to write the writing 27 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:07.840 the first thing you should do is 28 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.840 question analysis let's see an 29 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.640 example here we have a task 2 question 30 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.438 the question statement says 31 00:01:17.438 --> 00:01:19.680 students perform better in school when 32 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.200 they are rewarded rather than punished 33 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.920 we're also asked two questions related 34 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.319 to the given question statement 35 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.078 the first one says 36 00:01:30.078 --> 00:01:33.520 to what extent do you agree or disagree 37 00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:36.720 the second one says discuss both views 38 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:40.000 and give your own opinion 39 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.000 you see this question the first thing 40 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.920 that you should do is to read it very 41 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.720 carefully to fully understand what 42 00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:49.439 you're asked to write about and also 43 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.200 what type of question you're dealing 44 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.320 with 45 00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.560 to do so what you need to do is to 46 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.280 underline the keyboards 47 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.159 here the keywords are students 48 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.520 perform reward and punished in the 49 00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:05.200 question statement 50 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.360 the second step that you need to take is 51 00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:11.760 brainstorming but what is brainstorming 52 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.319 simply put brainstorming is to come up 53 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.959 with some ideas that you want to write 54 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:18.160 about 55 00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:21.120 now to understand it better let's 56 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.000 suppose that we are not on the exam day 57 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.840 struggling with different question types 58 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.639 to write a writing about instead we are 59 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.800 sitting in a coffee shop next to our 60 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.360 friend talking about this and that 61 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.080 suddenly a sentence in a newspaper next 62 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.720 to us attracts our attention 63 00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:40.879 the sentence says 64 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.120 students perform better in school when 65 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.120 they are rewarded rather than punished 66 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.360 after reading the sentence you start 67 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.840 talking about it with your friend 68 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.639 your friend agrees with the sentence and 69 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.040 says that this kind of punishment among 70 00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:00.239 the students can improve their progress 71 00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:02.639 but on the other hand you find yourself 72 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.400 against the idea 73 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.800 and you think that this punishment can 74 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.280 have negative impacts on the students 75 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.840 and of course on their future so this is 76 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.440 not a good idea 77 00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:14.400 see 78 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:15.919 you have started to think about 79 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.639 different ideas analyzing the two sides 80 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.440 of this statement this is exactly what 81 00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:23.919 you have to do on exam day what i mean 82 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.919 is that you don't need to complicate 83 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.000 things for yourself just think about 84 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.959 some very simple ideas and then develop 85 00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:34.000 them throughout your whole writing 86 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.400 what you need to do is to just come up 87 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.640 with some ideas even if you don't 88 00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:41.440 personally agree with them as long as 89 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:43.519 they are relevant to the questions 90 00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:46.560 statement you're good to go take two to 91 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.720 three minutes to brainstorm and plan 92 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:50.879 your essay before you write it 93 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.879 what i mean is that whatever you think 94 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.519 about try to write it on a paper and 95 00:03:55.519 --> 00:03:58.400 then
